Shopfront repairs in Wells

If part of your Wells shopfront has stopped working, send us photos first and we will tell you whether it can be priced without a visit.

Repairs in Wells can be arranged out of hours, overnight or at a weekend, so shops anywhere in Somerset can keep trading while the work is done. An older frontage in Wells may have discontinued sections or fittings, so we look for a compatible part before suggesting that anything needs replacing.

Work in Wells is run from Birmingham, roughly 97 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Our Wells work takes in BA4, BA5, BA6. Neighbouring Glastonbury and Street are covered too.

What can we sort out in Wells?

Cracked or broken glassWe make the pane safe, measure the opening and fit the correct safety glass for its position in the frontage.
Leaks and draughtsFailed silicone, perished gaskets and blocked drainage paths let in water and cold air. We trace the route before resealing.
Shutter and sign faultsOne contractor can look at the whole frontage, so a stuck shutter and a dead sign do not need two separate call-outs.

What does it cost in Wells?

A shopfront repair usually costs £125 to £995 ex VAT for most single repairs. Send photos first, because many jobs can be priced from them. Where a fault cannot be priced that way, we book a charged diagnostic visit, from £125 ex VAT, and you hear that cost before we come out. Parts, access and out-of-hours work can move the figure, so we confirm the repair price before starting.

Before booking a repair to a rented unit in Wells or elsewhere in Somerset, check your lease, since it may make the landlord responsible for the frontage. If you can't close, we phase the work: one bay at a time, with the unit left secure and weathertight every night.

Common questions

Do you cover Wells?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Wells and across Somerset, including BA4, BA5, BA6. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

Do shopfront repairs need planning permission?

Like-for-like repairs usually do not need planning permission in England. A change that materially alters the appearance may need it, and a listed building may need listed building consent. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so check with your council before changing the look.

Can my shopfront be repaired or does it need replacing?

Many faults can be repaired without replacing the frontage, provided the frame is sound. If corrosion, rot or repeated damage means a repair would not last, we will say so. A refurbishment or a new shopfront is then priced as a separate job.

What do I do if my shop in Wells is broken into?

Call the police first if a crime is in progress, then call our 24/7 line on 0800 088 6341. We will tell you the arrival time when you call, and board up or reglaze so the premises are secure.
